Lewis Hamilton was dismayed at failing to make the cut for Q3 while his team mate took pole position.
The Ferrari driver dropped out in Q2 after lapping 0.247 seconds slower than team mate Charles Leclerc. He qualified 12th on the grid after falling short of reaching the final round by just 0.015 seconds.
“I’m just useless,” said the glum driver after the session.

He added “nothing changed” in the balance of his car.
